  • Title: Failure of reticular erythematous mucinosis to respond to cyclosporine.
    Author: Bulengo-Ransby SM, Ellis CN, Griffiths CE, Cantu-Gonzalez G, Dubin HV, Voorhees JJ.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1992 Nov; 27(5 Pt 2):825-8. PubMed ID: 1469136.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 48-year-old woman who had worsening psoriasis, photosensitive reticular erythematous mucinosis (REM), and acne rosacea. The psoriasis was unresponsive to etretinate, and the REM was unsuccessfully treated with hydroxychloroquine. Cyclosporine (6 mg/kg/day) successfully cleared the psoriasis in 8 weeks but did not improve the REM and acne rosacea. Possible causes for the lack of response of the REM to cyclosporine are discussed.
